    <p>All things considered, the accuracy of the data to provided to
      the RDS will probably be one of the last points of our agenda.
      Only after determining how the new system should look, both from a
      technical framework perspective as well as from a legal,
      structural perspective can we even begin to figure out how this
      new system should tackle data accuracy. It would be my estimation
      that if a non-public RDS that protects the privacy of all data
      subjects subject to having their data entered into it were the
      result of this WG, as many of us hope, then that in and of itself
      would already be very helpful with regard to the issue of data
      accuracy, just as experience shows that data protected by privacy
      services has an overall better accuracy that public whois data in
      general.</p>

              <br>
            </span>I think that we mostly agree, but may be quibbling
            about "source".<br>
            What I think is that the DoR is just what it says it is: the
            data that<br>
            is recorded as having come from the original source of that
            data.<br>
            This tells us nothing about whether the original source

            <br>
            That any given datum is in fact part of the DoR could be
            demontrated<br>
            in different ways, according to the technology in
            question.[1]<br>
            <span class=""><br>
              &gt; Once there is agreement on what should be the Data of
              Record (the DoR<br>
              &gt; fields) for (say) Thin Data, with (say) unconstrained
              access, there is<br>
              &gt; then the question of which access window(s)
              [locations (SoR) or<br>
              &gt; processes (blockchain)] provide DoR.<br>
              <br>
            </span>We agree about this, yes.<br>
            <span class=""><br>
              &gt; As for "can be sure the data is<br>
              &gt; correct", that is the validity issue and separate
              from the Data of<br>
              &gt; Record and Sources of Record issues.<br>
              <br>
            </span>What _I_ at least meant in any locution like that was
            not "accurate<br>
            data" but "canonically correct".&nbsp; That is, when you get the
            data out<br>
            of the system, how can you be sure that you have the DoR?&nbsp;
            In whois,<br>
            the answer is, "You can't".&nbsp; In RDAP, the answer is, "Did
            you use<br>
            HTTPS and follow the referrals in the answers you got?"&nbsp; In
            some other<br>
            possible future system, the answer might be, "Did you check
            the<br>
            cryptographic signatures over the data elements you
            received, and do<br>
            those signatures validate?"&nbsp; We completely agree that the
            question of<br>
            whether the data in the system is an accurate portrayal of
            the world<br>
            is a different question, and probably outside the scope of
            our task.<br>
            <br>
            Best regards,<br>
            <br>
            A<br>
            <br>
            [1] Historically, we made the demonstration by source
            repository: we<br>
            asked the registry for data for which the registry had to be
            the<br>
            source, owing to the registry's position in the system.&nbsp; So,
            whether a<br>
            name was registered, the identity of the entity whence came
            the<br>
            registration (the registrar), the name servers if any
            associated,<br>
            certain dates, and the status of the domain came from the
            registry.<br>
            All other data came from the registrar, which was the source
            for other<br>
            such data.&nbsp; This was the "thin whois" model.&nbsp; Unfortunately,<br>
            NICNAME/WHOIS predated the registry/registrar model, and the
            graft<br>
            onto whois was not too successful, so people decided to use
            a "thick<br>
            registry" model.&nbsp; In this model, the DoR is nominally moved
            to the<br>
            registry, even though registrars may maintain a private copy
            of<br>
            registrant data that is not necessarily linked to the DoR.&nbsp;
            Any<br>
            database geek will tell you that this is a good way to
            ensure data<br>
            synchronization problems, but it's what we have now.<br>
            <br>
            RDAP as initially designed allows either of these models to
            be<br>
            followed, and it also allows authentication of the data
            source through<br>
            the use of https.&nbsp; With a little ingenuity, RDAP could be
            extended to<br>
            provide cryptographic signatures over the data elements,
            thereby<br>
            permitting widespread caching without the threat of data
            corruption<br>
            (intentional or otherwise).&nbsp; It's a live question whether
            the<br>
            engineering effort necessary would be worth it, though I
            confess I'm<br>
            pretty sceptical.<br>
